I don't think that sb did some copper bars.
Copper bends too easy.

And sick grip tape job by John Radtke.

cant you just use some other metal?

 

[Jake ODonnell]

copper is the worst metal to use on a scooter.

 

[--lillee--]

yeah
y would anyone want to use it
(unless they have some spare)

 

[Mike Montgomery]

copper will bend so easy.

Markley said he's been riding copper bars for like 5 months and everyone knows he's like good so maybe you need to get a thick gauge not some skinny tubing that you can bend ith your finger.

i think copper bars would look sick for the colour, but it wouldnt be worth doing.

 

[aj_rides_scoots]

they would snap so easily

 

[BuBBa]

copper bends, it doesn't snap i think.

i had copper bars in my old seatpost, it bent the first day on a small gap.

I've been riding copper tubing in a t-tube for about a month and it's still fine. Knock on wood.

 

[Eric Magray]

all you copper haters are just assuming it will bend or break. im pretty sure i was the originator of the copper crossbar, if not then i know i deff rode it more than anyone else. and ive always been fine with it. the t-tube breaks and the copper is still fine.

ive broken 3 t-tubes using copper but never broke the copper. its just the extra leverage of using wider bars breaks the t-tube quicker but mine still last forever as long as i dont throw my scooter.

 

[ScootingFred]

i hate copper cause i know it bends from experiance, and its expensive, so why risk it?

mine are 20" wide steel bars, not as heavy as i thought it'd be
anyway, the extra leverage of using wider bars sucks coz ive snapped 2 t tubes in the last month and its starting to piss me off, im either gunna get a 1 piece or cut my bars down which i dont wanna do
or as ya said i could just not throw my scooter when i get pissed off

 

[Roycee]

copper is good just make sure the pipe is thick, so it wont bend easy
